Head in Green Bronze and Other Stories – ebook
Hugh Walpole
In Walpole style, an excellent collection of short story bedside tables in the guest room, for recovering or reading aloud. There is nothing modern cynicism; the stories seem somewhat outdated – but in the end it often reassures.

Mammon and Co. – ebook
E.F. Benson

This is a high society satire, and then it becomes something much deeper and richer. This book is read in one breath.Data dostępności:
